Abstract:

A control system for a fire fighting component includes a detector for detecting a position of at least a portion of a fire fighting component relative to an axis, which generates an output position signal indicative of the position of the at least a portion of the fire fighting component, and a controller in communication with the detector and receiving the output position signal. The controller generates a display output signal based on the output position signal. The system further includes a display that is in communication with the controller and receives the display output signal. The display generates an icon that is a graphical representation of the fire fighting device, and configures the icon based on the output display signal wherein the configuration of the icon indicates the position of the at least a portion of the fire fighting device.

Abstract:

An adjustable device for controlling closure of a valve closure member of a valve includes an adapter for mounting to a valve and an actuator for engaging the valve closure member, which is adapted to rotate about an axis for opening, closing or throttling the valve. The device also includes a slow close assembly that includes at least one friction member, which generates a friction force when the actuator is rotated to thereby limit the speed at which the handle may be rotated.
